Marshall supports Cutler

Yes, the Broncos are aware former quarterback Jay Cutler threw five interceptions for the Chicago Bears in a 10-6 loss Thursday night at San Francisco.
“”Jay will be fine,’’ said Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, who watched the game. “”He’ll be OK. When it’s all said and done he’s going to be one of the best quarterbacks.’’

this morning on espn First Take, rather than being lazy like most and looking at the stat of 5 interceptions, Skip Bayless took the time to tell it like it is “I'm not sure you watched the game last night. I watched it, I'm not sure you did because last night more than ever you could see that Jay Cutler is stuck with a sorry, SORRY offense and he STILL threw for 307 yds and converted 8 of 17 3rd downs. His Offensive Line is TERRIBLE! One of the Worst in the League. It can not protect him. It can not run block. He has No running game to take any of the pressure off. Matt Forte was again a Disaster, rushing 20 times for 41 yds. He has No Receivers because his number one receiver, Devin Hester, shouldn't even be a receiver, so Show Me WHO he has to make better, because i don't see anybody out there. And again, if you WATCHED the game then you would know, if you know ANYTHING about football, 3 of the interceptions had nothing to do with Jay Cutler. Devin Hester slipped and fell down. Devin Hester ran into a Ref, and if you watched the game you saw that the 3rd one was CLEARLY an uncalled passing interference. And on the final play of the game he's once again running for his life and he fires a desperation pass, a prayer into the endzone. Jay Cutler is the ONLY bright spot going forward for the Chicago Bears. Last year in Denver he had SIX running backs go on the Injured Reserve and he had maybe THE Worst Defense in the NFL. 2 weeks in a row this year his defense gave up 31 pts by halftime. I don't see anything left in the cupboard EXCEPT Jay Cutler and I thought he did a pretty good job with Zero to work with last night. He was running for his life. He had a TERRIBLE Red Zone pick, he's been immature before, but he was very honest after the game, he said; I deserve the blame END OF BAYLESS COMMENTS brushing off Cutlers 5 int's as “Jay is just awful” is taking the easy way out, mailing it in, being lazy, instead of spending even a little bit of time Learning. It's like when people vote republican. The Republican Politician PREACHES fiscal responsiblity. That sounds GREAT! So many vote for them. Reagan Preached fiscal responsibility, all the while piling on 4 trillion dollars in debt. Dubbya PREACHED fiscal responsibility and went on to Crush Reagans record by piling on 5.8 trillion dollars in debt. http://zfacts.com/p/480.html But hey, it's just EASIER to take a quick glance and make an un-informed decision!

I would read this as “Yes, I still am looking to get traded. And I am hoping to get reunited with Cutler in Chicago so I can rack up huge numbers again, unlike wiht ole noodle arm at QB”

Cutler will be one of the best. Great analysis of the ints last night. 3 were clearly not his fault. Even the talking heads on espn analyzed it that way and they love to degrade Jay.He has delivered big in Chicago. Without him Chicago would have 1-2 wins. Week after week he has had to pull a john elway, win it in the last 2 minutes and he has put points on the board to win against teams like the steelers. Even thought they have come up short he has had the bears in a position to win or tie in the last 2 minutes…..5 times!An average defense, terrible run game, mediocre pass protection, good receiving corps (I do feel Jay makes them better) and he is still putting the bears in a position to win more often than not. With a below average supporting cast he is putting up big numbers and giving the bears a chance in every game!I compared his stats to Elway's at the same point in their career and Jay has more td's per pass and fewer ints per pass. Take away Orton's 2 miraculous receptions this season (Cinci and Dallas) and he has 7 td passes. SEVEN! For a starter on a team loaded with receiving talent and a very good defense?If the donks still had Cutler they would have a shot at a superbowl run. As it is they are good. Give Simms a chance.

It's unfortunate that Jay wasn't given more time as a Jake Plummer understudy as he was thrust into a starting roll so quickly. He's young and has much to learn to be a competitive NFL QB. If given time he'll probably make fewer mistakes and learn that he doesn't have to be John Elway or Joe Montana. He's good but sometimes guys have to learn their limits and they'll then make less mistakes[mistakes are portholes to wisdom]. He'll wise up.
